How to use this template

Type the following, replacing XXXX with the company's stock symbol:

{{Bombay Stock Exchange|XXXX}}
Example
{{Bombay Stock Exchange|500312}}

Where to use this template

The best location for this template is in an infobox about the company, such as {{Infobox Company}}, at the top of the article, if one exists. Include this template in parentheses on the same line as the company type:

{{Infobox Company
| company_type=[[Public company|Public]] ({{Bombay Stock Exchange|500312}})
}}

In some legacy usages, this template may be found in first sentence of the article. It's encouraged to move it to an infobox, in accordance with Ticker symbols in article leads and the community RFC.

Because redundant links are discouraged, this template should normally only appear in one place in an article about a publicly traded company.
